Chapter 1 Stay overnight in the rain
"There is a Taoist temple in front of us." On the road with dense leaves, a carriage was driving very fast. A maid in red was leaning out half of her body, lifting the curtain with one hand, looking in the direction, and told the coachman: "Chen Uncle, hurry up, it’s going to rain soon, we have to take shelter.”

The weather in summer is like a child's face. The sky was clear just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, there are dark clouds. The thunder rolls from far to near, and even the road surface vibrates with the same frequency.

As soon as the maid gave the order, the already slow-moving carriages and horses sped up a bit more.

There were four people sitting in the car, two gray-haired old men and women about 60 years old, a servant girl wearing a duck-egg blue armor, and a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old wearing a peach-pink embroidered skirt.

The girl's skin is as white as frost, her nose is small and straight, her forehead is full, and her eyes are as dark as black grapes after the rain.

The sudden acceleration made her lean back unconsciously, and then she quickly reached out to support the old lady sitting shoulder to shoulder with her.

The old lady was dressed in commoner clothes and had a simple bun on the back of her head, with only a wooden hairpin binding her hair. She was no different from the old lady from the farm.

The old man looked quite healthy, and his hands and feet were very strong. He could hold on to the seat panel and sit firmly.He also reminded the girl: "Nuer, be careful yourself."

The red-clothed maid sat down next to the maid, and muttered something with disdain.

The maid smiled, patted the back of the maid's hand gently, and said to the delicate-looking girl, "Miss, it's God's fault, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get home today."

As he spoke, he looked at the girl. After seeing this face for a few days, she still admired her, "Young lady looks so good. She looks like our Cheng family. When the master and his wife see you, they may be so distressed and happy." ."

The maid muttered: "What's the use of being good-looking? If you don't understand any etiquette, you still have to bring two old country men and ladies back."

The master and his wife will definitely be angry.

"Hongshan, what are you talking about?" the servant reprimanded the girl lightly, and said with a smile: "Miss, I don't know, because this girl is the daughter of the old slave, the old slave has some dignity in front of the lady. , a whole yard of people, including the young lady, didn’t care much about her, and that’s why she became like this.”

Xinnuo nodded and hummed softly. His big eyes were wet and he could see people's hearts when he looked over. "Mother Qin, I don't mind."

This voice is also nice. It is not the fragile voice of an ordinary woman. How should I put it, just like her name, it is a little sweet and waxy.

She could have grown up like this in the countryside. If she hadn't been replaced by that bold slave, she would be a hundred times better than the second young lady today.

It's just a pity that growing up in the lap of an old couple with no children, it was ruined.

She asked questions on the way. She was such an old girl, but she couldn't even sew a sock. She knew a few words, but she couldn't even read a line of poetry.

You must know that the master of the family was once ranked second in the top two rankings, and his talent in writing poems and poems was praised by the current emperor.

Madam is so strong, I don't know how uncomfortable she will be when she sees her biological daughter being brought up to be a loser.

Moreover, this child is obviously close to the old couple who raised her. Even if she goes home, she has to take them with her. If she doesn't take them with her, she won't go to Beijing. I'm afraid she won't be able to teach her to kiss my wife in the future.

"Woo-"

The sound of a carriage pulling up outside interrupted Nanny Qin's thoughts. She held Hongshan's hand and got out of the carriage first. Almost at the same time, heavy raindrops pattered on the carriage shed.

"Miss, get out of the car quickly." Nanny Qin waved to the inside, with her head hit by two heavy raindrops.

"Grandpa and grandma," the little girl reached out to help the old man and lady inside as soon as she came down.

Hongshan has never seen such a stupid young lady. She wants to accept her as the daughter of the Cheng family. What does she care about these two old people?
Could it be that it was to show that she was kind and did not forget to show her kindness?

laugh!Don't be stupid.

The red fan opened a brown oil-paper umbrella and covered his mother's head.

Xinnuo took her grandparents away, then turned around, stretched out her hand to Hongfan and said, "Give me the umbrella."

Just use it as you say?

"We still have to fight." Hongshan said, lowering his eyes, seeing the white and delicate little hand, he felt an inexplicable feeling of jealousy and injustice in his heart.

Growing up in a shabby peasant family, why didn't she have any calluses on her hands?

Suddenly, as soon as his hands were empty, raindrops that had gathered in the air began to hit him all over his face.

The umbrella was actually taken away.

Hong Fan was furious and stepped forward to argue, but her arm was held by her mother.

"Mom, she's going to show off the young lady's music now." As she said that, Hong Fan stamped her feet.

Qin Nanny glanced at the coachman who had come over after hearing this, dragged her daughter to the Taoist temple, and at the same time said in a low voice: "Calm down, don't bully her because she has no foundation in the house. No matter what, she is my direct daughter."

Hong Fan reluctantly pouted, but said nothing more.

"Taoist Master, it's raining heavily on the road. I wonder if I can take a break to teach at Guiguan." The new and old man performed Taoist etiquette and bowed to the old Taoist priest in the dilapidated hall.

Although this Taoist temple is dilapidated and the outer wall has collapsed, looking at the main hall that still stands majestic, one can imagine the glory days of this place.

The old Taoist priest was wearing patchwork, greasy and dirty Taoist uniforms. Next to him stood a little Taoist boy of about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing the same quail clothes with hundreds of knots.

The old Taoist priest looked at the servants and women who came in after him, returned the greeting, and said: "It is convenient for others and for your own convenience. All laymen, please come in."

"It's just a broken Taoist temple. Do you need to ask them? It's a place where no one has worshiped for a long time," Hong Fan said angrily, squeezing between Xin Nuo and Grandpa, holding the package in his arms and supporting it with one hand. With his head above his head, he trotted towards the main hall.

Xinnuo held the umbrella over her grandfather's head again, looking at the back of the arrogant maid, thinking that a maid is so awesome, and the Cheng family's door is very difficult to enter.

"Let's go in."

His hand was held by a dry and warm hand. Xin Nuo lowered his head and smiled back at the grandmother on his right. He raised the umbrella higher to cover the whole family as much as possible.

There is a stove and beds against one wall of the main hall. It seems that the Taoist master and apprentice lived here.

Xin Nuo looked around and took his grandparents to the northwest corner. At this time, the rain outside had already begun to intensify.

The coachman, Uncle Chen, then came in and had probably set up the carriage. He also had a bundle of half-dried wood branches in his arms and brought them to Xin Nuo.

"Old man, make a fire and heat some water."

The new and old men thanked them, and over there, Hongshan, who was at least five or six meters away from their position, shouted: "Uncle Chen, we also need to dry firewood."

Uncle Chen thought to himself, I am not here to serve you, so he turned around to find a dry place, sat there and started wringing his clothes.

Nanny Qin glanced at Old Chen and laughed sarcastically in her heart. She was just a down-and-out young lady, and only those who couldn't bear to be their master were rushing to please her.

The old and new man lit up the fire, and Xinnuo picked up the umbrella and said, "Grandpa, I'll go outside to get some water."

When she came in just now, she saw a well about ten meters outside the main hall.

Before stepping out of the threshold, Xin Nuo opened the umbrella, and then the opened umbrella seemed to hit something with a pop, making a muffled sound.

Xinnuo moved the umbrella away in confusion. In her sight was a tall man who was also holding an umbrella and was more than a head taller than her.

 The new book is open, welcome to step in.

  ps: The update of Jinxiu Farmhouse will not be delayed.

  muah!
